We did very, very well. We had an excellent first half, we were 3-0 up very quickly but could have been four or five up at half-time. Then we couldn't score the fourth one or the fifth one. The stadium was silent. Silent. We never got any energy back from the fans and I think the players delivered a lot to get more from the fans. So, it was difficult to keep everything going in the second half, but we did excellent, we deserved to win. Next step in the right direction.

Bayern were interested in Martinelli in the last summer window, this is true! Falk said. Indeed, he was a topic on a long, long list certainly considerably lower on the list than Nico Williams and Jamie Gittins. However, they didn't get either of the two, so they had ideas about new players and Martinelli indeed was one of the players.

"Let's see how the game plays out. We prepare for everything," Tuchel told reporters.

The forward spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Getafe before making a permanent move to Marseille last year, when the one-cap England international began the process of changing his allegiance to Jamaica. Greenwood has obtained a Jamaican passport but has yet to complete the requisite change of association form as he is not ready to commit to the Caribbean nation.

England head into tomorrow's World Cup qualifier against Andorra in a no-win position. A resounding win will be met with a shrug of the shoulders as 'it's only Andorra' and any other result will bring widespread criticism. Thomas Tuchel found that out in the reverse fixture when his side toiled for large parts of the game in Barcelona before Harry Kane poked home the only goal.

We decided for a tighter, more competitive squad. We didn't use all 23 players. There is no doubt I am a big fan of Trent and Jack Grealish. "Big players and big personalities, always in the mix. I know both are desperate but in this camp we decided for Reece James and [Tino] Livramento in Trent's position, and in Jack's position Marcus Rashford and Eberechi Eze.
